Family Blood

Remember Vinessa Shaw? She was the lead female (Excluding the witches) in cult favorite Hocus Pocus (1993). Since then she's done.........and then there was.........and who could forget? Erm, stuff?

Here she leads as a former drug addict turned vampire and the affect it has on her and her two children. I can't help but feel like the whole movie was one big metaphor for addiction.

There is a problem though and it's a big one. The movie is unforgivably boring, so boring in fact I fell asleep about 1/3 of the way through and had to watch the thing from scratch again the next day.

It's SO lifeless, the characters simply aren't likeable and honestly until the last few minutes nothing happens. On top of that I see people claiming this is a new spin on the tired vampire formula, my question is how? How is this a new spin? This has been done before, the whole thing is devoid of originality.

Not one for fans of vampire cinema or for that matter cinema period.

The Good:

.......nope

The Bad:

I actually fell asleep and had to watch it again

So boring

Lifeless nonsense

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Vinessa Shaw has nothing to contribute to the industry

Regular vampires > Twilight Vampires > These vampires
